I love this read- it gives very raw and instructional advise on how to build yourself up. I particularly enjoyed a section in the book that explains the importance of being able to be selfish with time for yourself and the importance of saying NO to those who are asking for your time.

If you hate ‘MOMMY SHAMING’ (as I do…) you’ll love Bringing Up Bebe! It’s a bold view on being a mother in America; that goes against the grain on traditional parenting and why mamans (the french translation for ‘moms’) know something american moms don’t. Believe me when I say, Mother doesn’t know best…

While this is indeed a children’s book, the writing in the story is full of deep double meaning- where the simple sentences welcome a pause of reflection in between page flips. It’s less of a story, but more of a very sweet letter from a mother to her daughter letting her know she will always be with her through life’s inevitable milestones.

I would not be surprised if every tree hugger was read this book as a child. Saved for last, The Giving Tree is one of the cutest children’s stories I’ve ever read. It’s about a relationship between a boy and a tree. The author found a very cute way to bring the tree to life past it’s leaves and branches. The end is sad in the warmest way… sniff sniff.
